TYPES OF MEMORY MODULE

 SIMM (single in-line memory module): A Single Inline Memory


Module, or SIMM, is a type of memory module that was commonly
used in personal computers during the 1980s and 1990s. It served as
the primary method of expanding a computer’s Random Access
Memory (RAM) capacity. It has 30pins which is appropriate for
notebook computers, 64 or 72pins, which can be used in micro-
computers such as personal computer.
 DIMM (dual in-line memory module): they are commonly called
RAM stick. It replaced SIMM. These memory modules are mounted
on a printed circuit board and designed for use in some personal
computers, workstations, printers, and servers. They are the
predominant method for adding memory into a computer system. It
has about 168 pins
 Rambus memory modules, a subset of DIMMs, but are normally
referred to as RIMMs: RIMM is computer memory that
resembles DIMMs; however, it is 184-pinRIMM modules are
commonly used on the Intel Pentium 4 motherboards. Unlike most
other computer memory, computers that support RIMM require a
continuous signal.
 SO-DIMM (small outline DIMM), a smaller version of the DIMM,
used in laptops. SODIMM are a smaller alternative to a DIMM, being
roughly half the size of regular DIMMs. SODIMMS are often used in
systems which have space restrictions such as small footprint PCs
(such as those with a Mini-ITX motherboard), high-end upgradable
office printers, and networking hardware like routers. SODIMMs have
72, 100, 144, 200 or 204 pins. The 72 and 100 pin packages supports
32-bit data transfer, while the 144, 200 and 204 pin packages support
64-bit data transfer.
